More about our tours and good things to know before booking!
All of our school tours are self-guided. Teachers are provided an information packet with a map at check in. We will have staff available both outside and inside to make your visit to the farm enjoyable and smooth. Self-guided tours allow for more flexible accommodations and scheduling.
School tour booking is done online (see link above). While we no longer book tours over the phone, please do call the farm for help or with questions you have during the booking process. We will no longer accept payment by cash or invoice. Payment will be by credit card or school check due on the day of the tour.
Cost for the tour is $7 per student. Teachers, parents and chaperones are free, and therefore do not receive donuts, cider, pumpkin etc. Our craft store and food stand will be available during your visit.
After booking, you will receive an email with information about what to expect when you arrive at the farm. We look forward to seeing you this fall!
